Millennial parents are the first to try to take on this challenge of equal contribution both in terms of the paychecks they bring home and the work that goes into childcare and household chores.

    What's a side hustle? As a Millennial, I'm no stranger to peers who focus their energies on passions beyond their day jobs.
